Is my child too ill for School?
Sometimes parents and carers are unsure whether to send their child to school if they have an illness.

WHEN CAN MY CHILD RETURN TO SCHOOL?
We have a school policy whereby children who have a high temperature should stay at home for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. Also, if child has diarrhoea or vomiting, they should stay at home for 48 hours from the last bout of vomiting or diarrhoea.
